Hello ladies and gentlemen, I haven't been on here in a while, that's because I haven't had an issue I couldn't fix myself. However, I am now having an issue with 1) the brakes and 2) the Rear anti-lock light. 1) I have recently replaced all the brake hardware and shoes in the rear, and the pads and rotors and calipers in the front. When I bought the truck from my friend the brake pedal was stiff and you could barely touch the pedal without slamming your head into the windshield. Then the master cylinder and power brake booster went out on it and the pedal went back to normal after replacing them. Here recently the brake system has started to become mushy again and the wheels would pull to one side when the pedal is depressed even after bleeding the system of air completely. I got under it yesterday to find any leaks and all the lines and systems are dry, as in no leaks anywhere. I was talking to my father about it and he said its possible the proportioning valve is either going or bad. any help on that first? 2) When I bought the truck the rear anti-lock light was on and I have never been able to get it to go out forever. When I had the pressure back up in the system after the booster and master cylinder replacement the light went out for maybe 3 minutes then came back on. I have replaced every sensor on the system minus the actual one in the solenoid itself. I was talking to my dad on this issue also and he said the ABS solenoid that is on the frame rail is bad. Any help on this one? The ABS issue is not as important as the brake issue, but any help on both would be great.

 

You're just having and adjustment issue, adjust the rear brakes and they will be just fine again:

Ok, now will that cure the issue of the truck pulling the wheel to one side when I press the brake pedal?

 

Yes, that's the idea.

 

ok, ill get up under her tomorrow and adjust them

 

Turning the wheel up on the adjuster in any of the sides will tighten the bands against the drum, keep that in mind.
